Troubleshooting IP Camera Compatibility with ONVIF and RTSP Protocols

[djfluke]

Hello everyone, I recently purchased an IP camera from Aliexpress.
I was assured that it would work with the ONVIF and RTSP protocols.
However, there is no setting in the ICSee app to activate this function.
After searching the internet, I downloaded the CMS program to perform a firmware update.
I found a firmware online that is compatible with my camera, but even after performing the update, these features are not unlocked.
I can help you. The firmware you found is "000807B4.1IPC_XM530V200_X2C-WQ_WIFIXM713G.713g.Nat.dss_V5.00.R02.zip".

Give ODM some valid logon credentials (top left of the window) and it will probe automatically for ONVIF devices on the LAN.

If that works OK, check out the 'RTSP URL' at the bottom of the Live Video page and see if it works using VLC media player to play the video stream.
